I’ll never buy a car with a touch screen, and luckily I don’t have to.
We (in Europe) are now at the high water mark for touch screens. The EURO NCAP have changed their rules so cars with complicated touch screen controls get a lower safety rating. ADAC have changed their rating system to penalize them, too.
Those are important measurements for normie car buyers, so manufacturers will adapt to them.
First manufacturers are already offering cars without screens again for 2026 (Dacia, Renault, Citroen, Fiat, Opel).
